Best part o't world! Not that I'm biased like...

Best part o't world! Not that I'm biased like...

I have to disagree and say Scotland is better

 

[Techniquest]

Gentlemen, you're both wrong. GWR land is the best, followed by Wales.

TPX shacks are Thirsk and Chester-le-Street

But neither GWR or ATW have got the wonderful 170411

Nor stations called Golf Street

 

[Techniquest]

You are right, we're not cursed with the horrible pieces of junk. One day it'll be even more 170s on Hereford to Birminghams, once the 150s go, and that just doesn't appeal!

But we have a shack called St Keyne Wishing Well Halt

Seriously though, its good that your total is the same as mine. Means we have the same list. Although I am a long way behind. I still need 1190 shacks to visit!

But we have such delightful sounding shacks as Falls of Cruachan, Achnashellach....and Falkirk Grahamston

When doing a random check of my log file against my shack data file, I noted that some shacks I have visited in the past weren't in my log file. Mainly ones visited before I started maintaining a log, so it was a case of a revisit (by my notes it would have been Sept 13 when I first visited these two)

There be a small handful more, which I want to try and revisit to get them mentioned in my log, i.e. Chandlers Ford & Branksome
